ISBN: 9780080425801 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 509 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents in a single volume a comprehensive history of the language sciences, from ancient times through to the twentieth century. While there has been a concentration on those traditions that have the greatest international relevance, a particular effort has been made to go beyond traditional Eurocentric accounts, and to cover a broad geographical spread. For the twentieth century a section has been devoted to the various trends, schools, and theoretical framework developed in Europe, North America and Australasia over the past seventy years. There has also been a concentration on...

Concise Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Language
ISBN: 9780080429915 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 620 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Philosophers have had an interest in language from the earliest times but the twentieth century, with its so-called 'linguistic turn' in philosophy, has seen a huge expansion of work focused specifically on language and its foundations. No branch of philosophy has been unaffected by this shift of emphasis. It is timely at the end of the century to review and assess the vast range of issues that have been developed and debated in this central area.
The distinguished international contributors present a clear, accessible guide to the fundamental questions raised by the philosophers about... Philosophers have had an interest in language from the earliest times but the twentieth century, with its so-called 'linguistic turn' in philosophy, h...

Language Acquisition: Knowledge Representation and Processing
ISBN: 9780080433707 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Language Acquisition has been a much-disputed territory over which the conflicting claims of cognitive scientists, psychologists and linguists have long been fought. While for years each discipline has kept within its own theoretical frameworks, a fruitful recent development has been the increase in cross-disciplinary fertilisation of ideas between researchers of different orientations. It is in this spirit of collaboration that the GALA conferences on Language Acquisition have taken off. The aim of GALA '97 was to further promote cross-fertilisation across the different disciplines. The...

Langue and Parole in Synchronic and Diachronic Perspective: Selected Proceedings of the Xxxist Annual Meeting of the Soicetas Linguistica Europaea, St
ISBN: 9780080435817 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume contains 37 papers selected from the proceedings of the XXXIst Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea held at the University of St Andrews, Scotland in 1998. The general theme of the conference was 'langue and parole in synchronic and diachronic perspective', a theme chosen for its enduring importance and one which allowed speakers to reflect on the theoretical notions of langue and parole, to use them in an actual analysis or to present material beyond these core ideas. The breadth of papers published here and the eminence of many of the contributors reflects the...

Presuppositions and Pronouns
ISBN: 9780080435923 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this volume, Geurts takes discourse representation theory (DRT), and turns it into a unified account of anaphora and presupposition, which he applies not only to the standard problem cases but also to the interpretation of modal expressions, attitude reports, and proper names. The resulting theory, for all its simplicity, is without doubt the most comprehensive of its kind to date. The central idea underlying Geurts' 'binding theory' of presupposition is that anaphora is just a special case of presupposition projection. But this is only one of the ways in which the concept of...

Modality: Issues in the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface
ISBN: 9780080436340 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume focuses on the interplay between grammatical and pragmatic factors in the comprehension of lexically communicated meaning. It uses a case-study, modality, in order to illustrate how the plasticity of lexically conveyed information can be accounted for without assuming semantic polysemy. The author's approach to the semantics and pragmatics of the English modal verbs is developed within the relevance-theoretic framework of communication.

Figurative Language: Cross-cultural and Cross-linguistic Perspectives
ISBN: 9780080438702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The aim of this study is to discover basic principles underlying linguistic figurativeness and to develop a theory that is capable of capturing conventional figurative language (referred to as CFLT, i.e. Conventional Figurative Language Theory). The rich empirical data analysed for this publication include, among other things, idioms, proverbs, lexicalised metaphors, and figurative compounds, drawn from ten standard languages with widely different genetic relationships and/or cultural backgrounds (English, German, Dutch, Swedish, French, Russian, Lithuanian, Greek, Finnish, Japanese) and one...

Contexts of Metaphor
ISBN: 9780080438818 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study presents an approach to metaphor that systematically takes contextual factors into account. It analyses how metaphors both depend on, and change, the context in which they are uttered, and specifically, how metaphorical interpretation involves the articulation of asserted, implied and presupposed material. It supplements this semantic analysis with a practice-based account of metaphor at the conceptual level, which stresses the role of sociocultural factors in concept formation.

Analysing the Language of Discourse Communities
ISBN: 9780080438931 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This text describes how the language used in social interaction evolves from the time the speakers first meet and becomes the in-group code of a given discourse community (in this case the academic community). Most studies reported in the literature of the language of groups and intimates until now have been global, imprecise or unsystematic, and have described the language as a product at a given time; no systematic study appears to have been carried out to follow through the interactions of individuals as they form a group, to discover precisely how and why language changes over time as...

On the Nature of the Syntax-Phonology Interface: Cliticization and Related Phenomena
ISBN: 9780080439358 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The theoretical domain of investigation of this volume is the nature of the syntax-phonology interface. The empirical domain of investigation is cliticization in South Slavic. The volume also examines several phenomena that raise theoretical issues related to those involved in South Slavic cliticization, namely, multiple wh-fronting in Slavic and Romanian, Germanic V-2, object shift and stylistic fronting in Scandinavian, and negation in Romance. The central theoretical questions considered in the volume are how syntax and phonology interact with each other and whether PF can affect word...

Semantic and Pragmatic Issues in Discourse and Dialogue
ISBN: 9780080439433 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume addresses contemporary issues in the semantics and the pragmatics of discourse and dialogue. Collected papers aim at providing insights on different theoretical approaches, all of them in the dynamic semantics tradition, such as Dynamic Predicate Logic (DPL), Discourse Representation Theory (DRT), and Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT). They reflect the current move of formal semantics from short multisentential texts towards structured discourses and dialogues, accounting for more and more phenomena at the semantics-pragmatics interface (such as subtleties of...

Pragmatics and the Flexibility of Word Meaning
ISBN: 9780080439716 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Recently, the investigation of word meaning in utterances has connected two different fields: lexical semantics and pragmatics. A new linguistic discipline, namely lexical pragmatics, is emerging. The eleven papers of the present book constitute a unit in the sense that they have a common aim: to explore the interaction between lexical semantics and pragmatics. The authors examine phenomena such as productive sense extension, regular polysemy, multifunctionality, implicit arguments and predicates, and non-typical anaphoric pronouns, on the basis of linguistic data, for instance, from English,...

Reporting Discourse, Tense and Cognition
ISBN: 9780080440415 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reporting discourse has attracted rigorous analyses in linguistics, literary theory, cognitive psychology, sociology and ethnomethodology. This book provides analyses of controversial topics in reporting discourse like tense alternation, reporting styles, patterns and functions. After critically examining existing theories, Tomoko I. Sakita offers new theoretical perspectives and empirical analyses within the scope of actual language performance. Her analysis covers tenses that previous studies have neglected or have considered "ungrammatical" or "mistaken." Based on models of cognitive...

Adjectives, Number and Interfaces: Why Languages Vary
ISBN: 9780080440552 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A study of why languages vary the way they do in the domain of adjectival modification in French as contrasted with other Indo-European languages (English, Celtic, Walloon, Romanian, Italian). Rejecting previous well-known analyses in terms of syntactic movement to various functional heads, the author proposes a model in which external properties of interfaces are the foundations from which the variation is derived. Limiting severely the technical apparatus of syntax, the author argues that the properties of number at the interfaces are shown to provide a simple and precise solution for...
